DVD: Armored (12)

Nimrod Antal neatly sets up this this heist thriller before allowing everything to unravel in the last 15 minutes.

A suitably intense Matt Dillon, a menacingly podgy Laurence Fishburne and Jean Reno play bored transport security guards who plan to stage a heist – involving $42m – against their own company. However, they also need to persuade new recruit and former soldier, Ty Hackett (Columbus Short), to join in the money grabbing fun. Ty is strapped for cash so he foolhardily agrees. It doesn't take long for their hare-brained scam to go horribly wrong and for Ty to become the Bruce Willis-from- Die-Hard-like hero. Apart from the rather abrupt ending, this is a perfectly serviceable thriller.
